Wait, where did this become a referendum on libertarianism? Nothing in the parent comment suggests this.


I was just noting that fundamentally this is an issue between two corporations acting in their own interests, and that the government isn't involved.

The OP paraphrased as "we want Facebook to censor", but that actual demand is "we want something that makes us comfortable". Which is a bit different.

These corporations are deciding out of their own free will, to withhold their money.

This seems to me to be ideal behavior from a free market, libertarian, perspective. Correct?
